Raw Vegetable and Nut Cereal

We call this cereal, but it’s really a salad disguised as breakfast. It’s the strangest and healthiest breakfast cereal I have ever LOVED! This recipe doesn’t contain any actual cereal at all, but oddly enough, it does have a granola-like texture and taste. I promise, it is really good — the teenagers in our house have been known to eat three bowls full! This simple recipe makes enough for several generous servings and will keep in your refrigerator for a couple of days (if it lasts that long).

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup carrot

1/4 cup pecans or almonds

1/2 cup cauliflower

1 cup broccoli

1/2 apple (peeled if not organic)

Method:

Cut vegetables into chunks. Chop carrots for about four seconds in food processor. Add other ingredients to processor and pulse until desired texture is reached (pieces about the size of granola). That’s it — wasn’t that easy?

Pour all in a bowl, and top with maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice) and pour almond or soy milk over top.
